Transferring files from dedicated server
I own a Linux remote dedicated server. Is it possible to bulk upload files to Dropbox?

Dropbox StaffHi there marciano1!
As Здравко also mentions, you should be able to move your data in batches.
You can find more info about migrating data from a server to your Dropbox account in this article.
Let us know if you have any follow up questions!
This is the third time I write a reply. It doesn't show up, I don't know what happens
Hi,
It is a remote dedicated server (CentOS) so I cannot
"Install Dropbox on your server computer. Make sure you're accessing the server directly and are not logging in remotely."
I access it via ssh, ftp, https control panel
Thank you
(this is the fourth time...)Hi marciano1,
Yes, like every one Linux application Dropbox need a session to work on. Unfortunately Dropbox application isn't a system service, but a client application (could be said client service, but i don't like that). So, it's need active session graphical or terminal! You can use any kind of session login (using local terminal or ssh), but connection have to be stable or the session and after that the application would terminate inadvertently. The responsibility is entirely yours. !!! ftp or https can't be used for such things! :wink: They are dedicated for your web server.
You can turn Dropbox on while already logged in and make sure stop it before logout! That's it. :wink:
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Okay, from local Terminal (Ubuntu) how do I login to Dropbox server?
After connect how do I transfer files/dir ?
Is it possible to use rsync?
Thank you
